Chatting Application using Java Spring

By Md Faizan

A chatting application Through which we connect with clients. We make an application by which we connect with other users, take messages from clients, and give back messages through a server.

While making this application, We need some basic concepts of Java, java frameworks like Spring and we should know Socket programming by which we connect or build connections. first, we import a package through which we use or implement the framework in Java.

import javax.swing.*;

By importing this we get & use a swing to make a frame. Set the size location and background color according to your need. Under this frame gave a Panel or we say in simple words gave a space on the frame using JPannel which comes from the swing package. place this panel to the frame by using adding function. Set the size, bonds, Location, and Background color as per your use. Inside this panel add images and text and we set the image and text as our requirement.

JLabel status = new JLabel("Active Now");
       status.setBounds(110, 35, 100, 18);
       status.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
       status.setFont(new Font("SAN_SERIF", Font.BOLD, 14));
       upperpannel.add(status);

Here is an example. in the above example, we set a text using Jlabel from the swing package and set the text bond, background, and add it to our JPannel with the name Upeerpannel. and before this, we need to add the first out panel to the frame.do the same thing on the client side so our chat theme looks the same. and to make a connection we implement the socket programming. which connects two users or say connects a client to a user. Take the message from the client side and send it to the server. For this, we have the function getOutputStream(). getinputStream() and many more functions by which we make connections between client and server. But one thing must be noticed the server number should be the same on both the client and server sides.
